[Mono-list] Anyone ever tried to run NAnt on mono on Windows?

[Gert Driesen]

Hi Atsushi

Not sure what the effect of that registry bug was ,but the Mono 1.1.9.2
release was working just fine here for running a version of NAnt built using
.NET 1.1.  However its failing badly attempting to run NAnt built using .NET
2.0:

** ERROR **: Can't find custom attr constructor image: <path to NAnt.exe>
mtoken: 0x0a000012

Do you actually installed Mono using a Windows installer, or built it from
source ?

Up until now, NAnt needed the registry key created by the Mono installer to
determine 

a) whether Mono was actually installed
b) what the installation directory was
c) what version was actually installed

On Linux, we use pkg-config for this purpose.

I'll see if I can use pkg-config for this purpose on Windows too (for those
building Mono from source in cygwin). Should not be that hard.
